Dear APP-Team,
first of all I would like to thank you for this great tool. For nearly one year I´m using APP now and I love it. Tough I´m still just scratching on the surface of the possibillities of this tool I made a great improvment in processing my pictures. You are doing a great Job. 👍
Here now one of my latest works:
M81/M82
Taken with 8"f5 Newton; EOS600da; Idas-LPS2; 19x6min; 10 Darks; no Flats.
Stacking and stretching APP; postprocessing: Raw therapee and Gimp.
Best regards
Guido

Happy to hear that Guido! Very nice result, if I may... maybe the background is a bit too dark?

Hi Vincent,
yes you are right. The reason is, thogh I unsed darks there still was too much noise in the background. Maybe I exaggerated it a bit in the postprocessing.
Next Pic will be better. 😉

Noise is part of the game, I usually like an even "noisy" background. Very mild denoise might be nice to have, but I tend not to because it always hurts details. Personal choice though, main point is that we're happy with whatever we do. 🙂

Hi Vincent,
here´s a more decent version with less dark background. 😉 You´re right, that looks better.
